I've been under the weather all week, so I was planning to make the Roscón de Reyes I shared a couple of weeks ago as a test for Three Kings' Day, but I ran out of time. A friend made this version yesterday after watching a video, and it turned out great, so I made it too and we'll have it for breakfast tomorrow.

Steps

4-6 hours
  1. 1

    First, prepare the milk by infusing it with the cinnamon stick, lemon zest, and orange zest to add flavor.

  5. 5

    Add the margarine at room temperature (or softened in the microwave for a few seconds). Mix with your hands a bit to make it easier.

  6. 6

    Add the 3 tablespoons of orange blossom water (or, if you prefer, a splash of rum or another liqueur at this point), then add the flavored sugar and mix a bit. Finally, add the salt and knead.

  7. 7

    Transfer the dough to a floured countertop. Knead for about 15-20 minutes. The dough will change texture and should become elastic and not sticky. (Don't worry if it's sticky at first.)

  8. 8

    Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl (to prevent sticking). Cover with a towel or plastic wrap brushed with oil and let it rise for about 2 hours, until doubled in size.

  9. 9

    Remove the dough from the bowl and gently deflate it by kneading for a couple of minutes. Shape it into a ball, then poke your fingers through the center and stretch it to form the traditional ring shape.

  10. 10

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the roscón on it. Put a greased ring mold or similar object in the center to help keep the shape while rising. Let it rise for 2-3 hours. (I usually do this the night before breakfast.)
